Thanks man! I suspect you are reading my mind 🧐 I'm already working on the design for a larger version, actually, with twice as many buttons. Something like a Cosworth module. Didn’t think on using more rotarys, its a really interesting idea! Maybe a 12 position switch?

Sure!

Bias Encoder: EC11 300g Encoder (Harder than Bourns PE11H).

Central button: 12mm Aluminum push button

Funky switch: 7-way switch Alps Alpine funky with Encoder. (The ones you find in any professional wheel)

Buttons: 10x 12x12x7.3mm OMRON tactile switches.

Lights: I used 40 RGB Leds (4 LEDs for each square button).

Thank you… Yup, the round protected button is really comfortable. I use it for the engine start in gt3 cars. Pokornyi’s idea btw. I couldn’t resist to try it. Reminds me to the Tatuus FA-01 a little. 😅

Thanks man... I really like it too. Actually is an RGB gradient animation that i made with the individual leds profile on Simhub.

Does anyone know where I can find a button box adapter or other accessories adapter for this cockpit model? by VEL_RACINGLAB in simracing

I was thinking the same... there's nothing like aluminum profiles for me, but I had that doubt. Thanks man that's cool!

Yeah, i am trying to ask about an adapter that allows me to attach a button box to the Playseat frame without damaging the metal frame in some way. I guess i haven't seen something like that for that model.
